Hose 22 Firehouse Grill is a new American-style restaurant on Stutson Street in Charlotte, with a firehouse theme.

The restaurant serves beer and wine, but is not able to serve liquor due to its proximity to Lakeside Presbyterian Church (located less than 200 feet away).

Hose 22 is located in a firehouse built in 1916 (the Stutson Street Bridge was built in 1917), which previously housed a fire company until 1962, for which the restaurant is named. See their History Page for details.

2009-11-13 14:09:25   I met up with some people last night after work. They did a very good job renovating the place. The food was pretty good with alright portions. I had the backdraft chicken, which had good heat without being overpowering. I tried their house beer, 22 Amber. I'm no beer critic, but it tasted pretty good to me.

The only thing is the dining area gets a little noisier than one would expect. Not that big of a deal to me, some people might get turned off by it though. But on the other hand, a dining room in a working firehouse is far from quiet. It just adds to the firehouse feel. —JohnJoseph

Food is decent if a little over priced. Wait staff is generally good. Renovations are great-worth a visit. Would not recommend going on a Friday or Saturday. —KimBrown

2010-01-19 18:22:06   My fiancee and I went a week ago for their Firefighter's appreciation night (they have $1 off house wine, Corona, and Blue/Blue Light for firefighters with ID and their entire families) and had a pretty good time. The renovated decor is really amazing. If you're into the history of Rochester/Charlotte or firefighting Hose 22 is worth checking out just for that. The bar and dining room are more or less open to one another so it does get a bit noisy. This is not a place to come for a quiet night out with your significant other, but the noise level definitely adds to the firehouse feel, as the others have noted here. Another drawback is that since it's pretty much one big room it gets really cold in the winter. They still have the original radiators. If you get cold easily bring a sweater—I don't get cold easily and I needed one.

As for the food, I couldn't even tell you what I had because it was that forgettable, but it won't stop me from going back there at least once more to look for something else; they had a lot of items on the menu that sounded good. On the other hand, my fiancee had the ribs and he enjoyed them immensely. —MeganHartman

2010-03-08 08:22:10   Short version: DEF worth a visit. Make a reservation, have the ribs or any dish with the blackened chicken, and expect it to be noisey. We're going back even before the upstairs or front fire doors are open! —URalum
